Warbird Information Exchange

Howdy all, I've been lurking for some time, finally had to post something ... and while I'm at it ask a dumb question. But first, the photos are posted in the Photos forum:

http://warbirdinformationexchange.org/p ... 546#188546

Dumb question: is it a sin to post here only to say I've posted pix over there? I would think so, except that's where snapshots belong, and I happen to know a lot of folks -- like me, for instance -- tend to pretty much limit their "WIX experience" to this, the Hangar forum. Thus the heads-up here...

Whatever, there are pictures of the flying boat over there, and if I've messed up by announcing it here, just strafe me once and I'll take the hint.

Brian... some truly fabulous photographs here (on your main site). Thanks very much for sharing! Incidentally, where do you normally work from, and what aircraft do you commonly use as photo-ships. I say this as someone who enjoys doing the same thing. It's always nice to compare notes.

All the best,
Richard

Excellent current photos Pogo..Thank you!



No sin at all Pogo, the S-43 might have been better placed and seen more appreciation in the Vintage Forum,
but its connection to the Spruce Goose definitely qualifies it as Warbird Information worthy of exchange.
You probably performed a great service to the WIX by bringing more attention to the Photo Forum.
I was surprised to learn in Jack's "Querstions" thread that some members didn't have a clue there was
a Photo Forum.

As for Jack's "Querstion" thread..I went to get a gallon of milk..I come back and log in, and it's gone!! Sigh!!!
Would someone please PM me and let me know what happened to it? Last post I read was Elwyn's.

I agree the S-43 is "Heavy Metal" enough for us in here, and certainly interesting enough to be posted regardess.

But strictly speaking this particular S-43 IS A WARBIRD, as it was impressed by the USAAF during WW2.




In regards to the missing thread of "Jacks Question" I think you will find that the system removes threads when someone is posting a reply or editing their existing post, as this appears to happen quite often from my own experience. Below is a link to its most recent reply.

and thanks again to Pogo for the great pics.

Thanks Mark, but it's a different thread I'm speaking of...another 'lost one'.
It's becoming confusing again..WIX growing pains again..
